when the herders say the cowboys rode a
few yards away and opened fire with RI

one of the herders. The herders, exas-

cowboys then fired a second yolley,
wounding three of the herders and they
rode off at top of their speed toward the
Arizona line, This morning another
herder named Jesus Maria Chavary died
from his wounds, having been shot
through both hips. A strong posse has
gone after the murderers.
